About the Internship opportunity:

We're excited to be offering a Transport Planning Summer Internship in our Leeds Office.

Our Transport Planning and Mobility Solutions team is part of our Cities & Places business unit.

As Cities and Places, we can create thriving places across different scales:
from regions to cities, neighbourhoods to individual buildings, by offering an integrated design approach.

Our business unit brings together engineers, architects, designers, MEP & BIM specialists, surveyors, urban designers, project managers and transport planners to provide collaborative and coordinated value design solutions for our clients both nationally and internationally.

Our Transport Planning and Mobility Solutions team skillsets cover the full remit of multi-modal transport planning from high level policy and strategy advice through transport modelling/appraisal to active travel, streets design, traffic engineering and junction design.

Join us and you'll have the chance to work on projects for a range of local, national and international clients.

You will be assigned to projects that align with your interests, career aspirations and academic background.

Day to day tasks could include:

Helping to develop and appraise various transport schemes and initiatives.
Assessing travel needs and opportunities to improve the way people travel to undertake their daily activities.
Undertaking feasibility studies.
Considering walking and cycling improvements aligning with local and national sustainability goals.
Transformational placemaking to reduce the impact of transport on the built and natural environment.
Designing and engineering traffic management solutions to enhance transport networks for all users.
Using spatial and economic analysis to understand benefits for communities.
Building and using transport models to appraise schemes.
Developing plans and strategies.
Delivering transport schemes aligning to current policy context (e.g. decarbonisation, sustainability and economic recovery).

We are interested in hearing from students who are keen to develop a rounded set of Transport Planning skills as well as those who have more specialised interests including but not limited to transformational placemaking, transport decarbonisation, traffic management solutions or mass transit schemes for example.
